Why? Because they were driven and smart, and they understood the value of learning itself. Fields, Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Walt Disney, Wolfgang Puck, Mary Kay, or Mark Zuckerberg, for example. They all accomplished great things without completing formal learning programs. Take Steve Jobs, Einstein, Mozart, Da Vinci, Henry Ford, Mrs. If you’re driven, whether you attend college or not will not necessarily be an indicator of your future success. I’m always working to learn, grow, and educate myself. I constantly attend business and travel conferences, read books, listen to podcasts, and speak with experts to advance my own knowledge. Learning should never be confined to just your time in classrooms. You should, of course, continue educating yourself your entire life. Now, there is nothing more important than education. I think most young people should delay school - regardless of whether it’s to travel - if they don’t know why they want to go. Plus, I personally don’t like giving strangers such life-changing advice when I don’t know much about them.īut while everyone’s situation is different, these emails bring up a topic to think about: when you’re young and unsure of yourself, is school worth it? Or is it better to pursue your current interests and dreams while you work out why you want to go to school? Only you know your heart’s true desire (and I certainly don’t want angry parents emailing me!). For starters, it’s a very personal decision, based on one’s individual goals and desires. In their emails, they express a desire to pursue higher education, but at the moment, they aren’t sure what they want to do and would rather travel and “figure life out.” School doesn’t seem to be a good fit for them at the moment. With the cost of higher education rising dramatically each year, should you forgo college* and instead use that money to travel the world? It’s one of the questions I receive a lot from graduating high school students and disenchanted college freshmen and sophomores.
